Foreword:

A friend sent me a video from afar,"Late at night, there are still many people on the subway on their way home from work." This city that is still running late at night is Hangzhou. Trying to search for impressions of Hangzhou in my mind, the first things that come to mind are "Internet","Ali", and "996". If I had asked me about my impression of Hangzhou a few years ago, I would probably be "West Lake" or "Paradise"...

Hangzhou has changed a lot in recent years. Young people continue to flock to the city, and more people are telling about the pressure they bear in life. So this time, as a travel blogger Haval Dog Experience Officer, I wanted to see what Hangzhou is like now and use my lens to record different moments in the city.

Life in our eyes is a coin with positive and negative sides. Even if we don't meet each other, we will always be one.

In this travel note, you will see Hangzhou like this:

Prosperity and tranquility merge

Harmony between city and nature

[First acquaintance·Avant-garde modernity]

Hangzhou's first stop-Linping Park

Due to well-known reasons this year, I couldn't go abroad to play, so I focused all my attention on the country. I always kept an eye on which region's policies were relaxed, and flew there to play for a while, and I visited almost all over the country intermittently.

As soon as I got off the plane, a heat wave hit. When I saw that the weather on my mobile phone was 38 degrees hotter than that in Guangdong where I was in, I suddenly collapsed.

Thinking that Linping Park was a bit far away, I was told that I couldn't drive in and there was no parking space provided. I had to go to the hospital next door to park my car, carry my camera and start going up the mountain, thinking about the pavilion on the top of the mountain, and feel the temperature outside. I really didn't want to go up for a moment. But fortunately, I found a battery car with a phone number written on it. I called it, and the driver said that he would come to pick me up immediately. He would send it directly to the top of the mountain for five yuan each, and I felt a little more comfortable.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, I finally saw the long-awaited Donglai Pavilion. Even when photographed in the noon sun, it looked "fairy". Although Donglai Pavilion has the appearance of an ancient building, it is a building made of pure steel. The metal texture is very strong under the sun. Standing in the ancient building with metal structure, there will be a trace of chaos in time and space. Donglai Pavilion's avant-garde design style is just like my impression of the city of Hangzhou. It embraces modernity and tradition, avant-garde and simplicity, and demonstrates a cool attitude that is free and tolerant.

There are no tourists in the entire building (after all, not many people can come out to climb the mountain in the high temperature of 38 degrees), so it feels like it is a contract. I searched for various angles inside and photographed for about half an hour and found that my whole body was soaked in sweat. I could only call the battery car boy again to let

He came up and took me down.

After leaving Linping Park, I quickly ran back to my new trendy travel companion, the Haval Dog, and turned on the air conditioner to continue my life. The air conditioner blew wildly for five minutes and finally regained my senses.

Hangzhou's second station-Longlingba

Since there is a steel skeleton structure of mountains, there must also be water waves and slow temperatures. Thinking of seeing Longlin Dam with lights on in the evening on the Internet, I was shocked at first glance. I thought this scene would only appear in comics. So after experiencing the sun exposure in Linping Park, I decided to drive to Longlin Dam. Have a look at it in situ.

The road to Longlingba was originally very convenient, but when I was driving out of downtown Hangzhou and preparing to board the expressway, I found that the expressway had been closed due to an accident. A large number of vehicles turned around and blocked the cars coming behind us at the expressway entrance. We finally had to take the national highway when we squeezed out.

However, it's also good to take the national highway. The scenery is picturesque. Zhejiang's rural areas completely subvert my previous understanding of the countryside. The spacious roads, clean environment, and houses look like villa areas.

As we approached Longlin Dam, the number of cars on the road began to increase. I had a bad feeling at that time, because it was Wednesday. Logically speaking, even if Longlin Dam was already on fire, there wouldn't be many people coming on weekdays. But after arriving at Longlingba, I was very surprised. First, I was surprised that the landscape of Longlingba was indeed as magical as in the photos. Second, I was surprised that there were a large number of tourists here, and the surrounding roads were full of cars. There were also local people directing traffic.

The water quality of Longlin Dam is good. The water steps one by one are like dragon scales. The water flowing down forms layers of white water spray. This place is like a paradise for children to play and a sacred place for checking in to take photos. However, there are too many people, so I can only continue to move forward, go to the front to see if there are any spots worth taking photos, and wait until the crowd has dispersed to enjoy it.

After crossing Longlin Dam, there were indeed many fewer people and cars. But the scenery ahead is not inferior to Longlin Dam at all. I took a happy photo with the big Haval dog here and enjoyed the dark sky. Although it was a rural road, it could be crossed without any difficulty. Thinking that when it got dark, the people playing in the water at Longlin Dam should have evacuated and drove back, but they didn't expect that there would be more tourists after dark. They probably chose to come out at night because they were afraid of the sun during the day. Longlin Dam under the lights at night looks very classy. If you take photos with long exposure here, you will definitely make a big movie. I waited here until 9:30 pm and found that there were no signs of fewer tourists, and the sky was too inappropriate for photos. I had to give up and return to Hangzhou.

[Overlooking the bustling city]

Hangzhou's third stop-Raffles

Back in Hangzhou, I went straight to Raffles. I had always been attracted by the Raffles architecture and wanted to take aerial photos of the night scene. However, the flight limit of drones here is 120 meters, while the Raffles Building is higher than 120 meters and cannot be photographed vertically.

Hangzhou Raffles Center is known as the "Skyscraper City" and is located in the core of the CBD of Qianjiang New City. It is also one of the most prosperous places in Hangzhou. Standing from a high place and overlooking it, it was busy with traffic and lights under my feet. It was late at night, but the city was still running. Where I was standing, I could see many people who had just come out of the office building and come home from work.

The Raffles and my big Haval dog look particularly compatible at night. The big Haval dog under the city lights has a great texture and a strong trendy and playful temperament.

[Return to seclusion·Quiet mountains]

Hangzhou's fourth station-Moganshan

After a night's rest in the city center, I continued to move to the next stop. This journey was like this. From the city to the countryside, I wanted to see how many faces Hangzhou had.

Moganshan should be regarded as an old popular resort, but I had never been there. I decided to drive there and escape the city. It took less than two hours to drive from Hangzhou to Mogan Mountain, but now self-driving is not allowed to go up the mountain. You have to change buses at the foot of the mountain. I have little interest in places that I can't drive to by myself, so I choose to stroll around Mogan Mountain.
In fact, for people who are simply here for vacation, they can choose not to go up the mountain like me. Changing to go up the mountain requires physical strength, and doing so in such a hot time is not enough for a vacation. There is a large bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and the high-quality air meets my vacation needs. Also, the most important point is to choose a good B & B. You can basically spend the entire weekend in just a B & B.

I did some homework before coming to Moganshan, but it was really a headache to choose a B & B in Moganshan, which is full of B & Bs. This time I chose the Woqiu Mountain Residence at the foot of Mogan Mountain, which means "lying in the high hills and ravines, and escaping fame outside the world."

Two small buildings in pure white minimalist style stand between the woods. The public area is very large, making it very suitable for bringing children to play on the lawn, play in the pool, and have intimate contact with small animals. For people like me who have no children, I choose to be in a daze in the yard, go to the reservoir behind the B & B, and wait for the housekeeper to call me for dinner. This is what a vacation should feel like. Of course, if you like to take photos, the B & B also has a large number of Republican-style scenery and free changes that allow you to take a set of Republican-style photos to dominate your circle of friends.

After leaving Moganshan, my trip to Hangzhou came to an end. On the way back to Hangzhou, I found a small path and took a good photo of my little friend this time-the Haval Dog.

The interior of the Haval Dog uses a contrasting color design to show its style, with the "Lake Screen" embedded central smart large screen as the center to show a more relaxed and flexible curve, retaining the beauty of calm and harmony, as well as the combination of hardness and softness. The "Galaxy Ring" luxurious knob shift style adopts diamond-cut grain to present the dazzling trend of stars, and the core star cluster buttons wrapped in the center have avant-garde design.

The rotary gear handle is very textured, but I think it will be safer to set boundaries on both sides of the knob.

The Haval Dog Fangzheng's car has a round headlight design that is really interesting. When driving on the road, he has a very high rate of turning his head, and he has been accosted by people and asked.

Mountains and water colors, city and nature, are two sides of this city. Even behind the noisy and fast-paced city, you can still maintain a slow life heart, so I say this is a cool city. The coolness of Hangzhou lies in the combination of prosperity and tranquility. Sitting on the edge of the West Lake, behind you is the prosperous city, and in front of you is the quiet West Lake.

I traveled across Hangzhou to record the wonderful moments of the city.
